Description
The Lyo-Ready LAMP Mixes are 4x master mix formulated with excipients optimized for freeze-drying to create ambient-temperature stable assays. Given cold chain management is a major limiting factor in resource-limited settings, ambient-temperature stable point-of-care tests (POCT) offer several advantages, including no refrigeration, reduced shipping, and handling costs, and extended shelf-life. By using Meridian’s Lyo-Ready LAMP Mixes, the process of developing a sensitive and high-performing assay is made significantly easier, with the added flexibility of using the mix in a wet or dried-down format.

FAQs: Lyo-Ready LAMP Mixes
How is isothermal amplification different from qPCR?
The main difference between loop mediated isothermal amplification and qPCR is that in loop mediated isothermal amplification, the amplification is achieved using a single constant temperature, while in the qPCR, amplification requires cycling between multiple temperatures on a thermocycler. Instead of melting DNA strands apart at high temperatures, loop mediated isothermal amplification uses polymerases with high strand displacement activity, like Bst DNA polymerases. As these polymerases do not need multiple temperatures, they can amplify a target in less than an hour, and in some cases in as little time as 10 minutes.
How can I increase the sensitivity of my DNA or RNA test?
Lyo-Ready LAMP and Lyo-Ready RT-LAMP 1-Step Mix can both be used directly as a liquid mix, or lyophilized, without changing the sensitivity of the assay. The master mixes are 4x concentration, this means that in a 20 L reaction, 5 L the master mix and 1 L of primers and probes are used allowing for up to 14 L of sample to be added, however if the master mix, primers, and probes are lyophilized, then up to 20 L of sample can be added.
Can LAMP be used for a multiplex assay?
Yes, it is possible to designed a multiplex LAMP test using different primers and probes, however they can be difficult to design and optimize as each sequence requires three sets of primers.
Are reaction conditions the same for lyophilized and liquid mixes?
Yes, the Lyo-Ready LAMP and Lyo-Ready RT-LAMP 1-Step Mix can be used as a liquid mix or lyophilized and stored for up to 24 months without needing to change the reaction conditions and this drying/ambient temperature storage will not affect the sensitivity of the POCT.
